Of all the holidays on the calender, I still can't believe you call MLK DAY stupid. But it is your opinion, I DID kinda expected your stance on this by the way you decide on other topics on IA. I bet you also think the Gov't shouldn't have built a civil rights museum too ( It did take them long enough)
As did I expect the responses I got from you. If you truly believe MLK Day is what you say it is then why single out him. Why not call it Anti-Discrimination day or some sh!t like that. This way it can be in remembrance of ALL discriminatory acts against citizines of this country and not just blacks. And while the discrimination women faced may not have been as brutal or fatal as discrimination against blacks it's just as important. Don't get me wrong the concept of the holiday may have been great but now it is nothing more than a national day off from work.
